The enemies arrived exactly as the dawn came.
The sun started enveloping the world with light, and Alex knew they were surrounded. Of course, except Jeanne, Vera, and Greg, who were accompanying him, Anna and the others were inside the card.
His spirits acted like they were shocked.
They say a green-haired old man, the only 9-Star Martial Lord in the enemy rank.
"Master. Please wake up, we are surrounded." Jeanne tried to wake Alex up like she was scared of the situation. Of course, she was pretty happy doing this role.
Alex woke up because of that, and he suddenly rose from the ground as soon as he saw them. He looked at them and stuttered, "You… What… what do you want?"
His act was telling them that he did not prepare anything to ambush them. The green-haired old man snorted, "Hmph. I am giving you a chance. Hand over all your belongings, and I will give you a quick death."
"You… Why do you want to kill me?"
"You have offended our Makmur Family, As long as I kill you, Intan will not suffer anymore." He said.
"What? You are from the Makmur Family? Senior, there must be some misunderstandings," Alex said in a pitiful voice.
"There is no misunderstanding. You dare to offend us then prepare for your death!" The old man said with a smug face.
He then looked at the sixteenth elder, "Elder, there should be a misunderstanding, right? You are from Heavenly Sword Sect, so please help me to explain it to them."
"After what you did to my disciple, you think you will be able to live? Snort, You are also under that b*tch Charya. You can only blame yourself."
"What? Sixteenth Elder, you can't do this! I am the one who solved the Seven Stars Cut. If you do something like this, Heavenly Sword Sect won't let you off!"
"Hmph. If it is in another place, it might be right. But this is Nemu Forest, a place where so many Martial Lord stage monsters are around. We will feed your dead bodies to those monsters, and no one will know." She snorted.
"You don't need to talk again. Everyone, ready to kill him!" The old man said coldly.
"No no. There is really a misunderstanding." Alex said. He looked at them as his pale face turned into a cunning smile, "You really misunderstood me. If you want to kill me, you need to bring more people."
They were shocked to hear that from his mouth. The green-haired old man suddenly looked around to see whether there was a trap or not. He then snorted, "Hmph. With only four of you, you can't do anything!"
"Yeah. Four… then I will call the other then." Alex said with a smile. He summoned Anna, Leoz, Fabio, Vera, and Anya at the same time.
"What?"
"Where do they come from?"
They were confused to see Anna and the others suddenly appeared around Alex. And their power was far stronger than Alex and the others.
But Ruben was still calm as he noticed that the strongest of them were only 6-Star Martial Lords.
"Don't panic! They are still weaker than us!" Ruben shouted.
Hearing it, the people started to calm down.
Alex then placed his hand on the ground as he channeled his Spiritual Energy to the ground… No, to something below the ground.
When the people were confused by his action, a huge barrier suddenly appeared and trapped them inside.
The barrier appeared like it was made of jade, polished enough to be a mirror. But for the people from Makmur Family, they could remember this particular array.
Especially those who came to Kasmanan Family that night. They could remember this barrier very clearly.
"This… this is Jadeite Mirror Array!"
"The long lost Jadeite Mirror Array that trapped the Kasmanan Family!"
"Don't tell me, he was the one who massacred the Kasmanan Family?"
"We are trapped."
"He is an Array Master!"
"No no no, I don't want this anymore!"
"Don't kill me!"
The people were scared as soon as they saw this barrier. After all, this barrier only proved him to be the one who massacred the Kasmanan Family.
And if he could destroy the Kasmanan Family, he might be able to destroy their family. Upon thinking this, the people from the Makmur Family got scared.
"Don't be afraid!" Ruben shouted, trying to calm the people down. "We still have time. If you remember the Kasmanan Family, they were not immediately killed inside this array. As long as we kill him as soon as possible, the array will be destroyed, and we will go out!"
"Kill me?" Alex took out his sword as he suddenly let out his fifty meter Sword Domain. He said coldly, "Do you think you are qualified to kill me?"
"What?"
"Fif… fifty meters…"
"Even our old family head only has 45 meters of Spear Domain. Don't tell me he is already at War Minister Morgan's level?"
Alex tried to make them even more panic so they could not exert their full power. Even Ruben and Agus could not speak anymore.
Alex suddenly waved his swords. And when everyone watched this, they gulped down.
Alex suddenly flicked his finger as an array suddenly appeared below one of their 4-Star Martial Lord. And before they knew it, the Martial Lord suddenly appeared in front of Alex.
Alex finally made a full swing and killed the guy. Before they knew it, Alex just killed a 4-Star Martial Lord. In fact, Alex did not only make them panic, but he was also buying time to make an array using his Space Plate.
The moment it was ready, Alex swung his sword while he made the array appear in the real world using his Spatial Door. And surprisingly, he succeeded in it.
Although he got the knowledge, it was only theoretical knowledge, not a practical one that could be implemented in an instant. Of course, he was able to teleport a person that stood still. In the latter battle, he might not be able to do it again.
"How?"
"Our seventh elder suddenly appeared in front of him and got killed by him!"
"Spa…space… He… he has a space element!"
"Space Element Array Master?"
"Run!"
"Stop, calm down! There are only nine of them."
"Ah, I don't want to die!"
The situation became even more chaotic, especially for the Martial Grandmasters. And Even Ruben could not calm them down.
Alex smiled when he saw this. He then said to his spirits, "Well, I have set the stage. Now, go!"
Alex wanted to reveal his Pure Fire, but it seemed he did not need to since the people already reacted too much. All of it because of the Jadeite Mirror Array that exterminated the Kasmanan Family.
"Yes."
"True Spirit Body. Dark Butterfly Spirit!" Anna immediately activated her True Spirit Body, revealing her gorgeous butterfly wing.
"True Spirit Body. Ethereal Lightning Body."
Anna then leaped toward Ruben and swung her scythe. However, as expected from an expert of 9-Star Martial Lord, even if he was still shocked by the situation, he was still able to parry Anna's attack with his spear.
The other spirits also went to their respective opponent.
Alex then took out his spear as he also released his spear domain to shock the people again.
"Spe… Spear Domain!"
"It is also a fifty-meter domain."
"He is a monster!"
"Kill him! We need to kill him first. We have our advantage in number and strength!" Ruben tried to shout as hard as he could. But because of the chaotic situation, only Martial Lords and a small portion of Martial Grandmasters heard him.
Alex then made the last blow. He summoned Sherry and Kyle.
When they saw them, the Martial Grandmasters could not take it anymore. They were trying to escape by breaking the barrier but to no avail. Sherry and Kyle immediately made as many firebirds they could and bombard them.
"Don't panic! We can defeat them if we are calm!" Ruben continued his rallying cry, but it didn't have any effect on the panic grandmasters. Even those people in the Martial Lord stage were on their edge.
Alex successfully made them insane, so he could kill the entire Makmur Family easily. Albeit, Alex never expected that Jadeite Mirror Array could make them like this. After all, for normal people, in the face of life and death, they will only think about themselves unless they were people like Anna and the others who will follow him even in the face of death.
Sadly, they were not, or maybe the impact of the Kasmanan Family had successfully gone deep inside their mind.
Alex then pointed his finger toward the sixteenth elder, "Don't kill her yet."
When his spirits saw this, they were confused. But they did not raise any objection for this because Alex should have a reason.
Leoz, who was facing her and Agus, nodded his head. He then looked at her, "You heard him."
"Hmph, you are only a 6-Star Martial Lord, and both of us are 8-Star Martial Lord. You are the one who is going to die!" The sixteenth elder snorted.
Leoz only shrugged his shoulder as he jumped forward with his big sword to face them.
…
Meanwhile, Anna looked at Ruben coldly, "Your family will be the same as that fool family who dared to kill him because of greed."
"Talk after you beat me!" Ruben was enraged when he saw his clansmen were killed one after another. He wanted to kill Anna as soon as possible and then moved to save the others.
"Sadly, you are too focused on the confusion."
"What do you me-!" Before he finished his world, he felt something on his shoulder. When he turned his head around, he saw a big black butterfly was sticking on his shoulder.
He immediately tried to kill it as his instinct was telling him it was bad. But before he managed to do it, the butterfly exploded, and he suddenly felt pain all over his shoulder.
The dark energy spread from his shoulder and moved toward his mind, trying to take control of him.
Anna then appeared in front of him while swinging her scythe.
"Tri Xeta!"
After all, he was still a 9-Star Martial Lord. When Anna appeared with her scythe, he immediately dodged to the side.
He was lucky enough to dodge Anna's attack as he immediately used his Spiritual Energy to stop the invasion of the black energy inside his mind.
"You are a hundred years too early to get me with a surprise attack!" Ruben was laughing after he managed to avoid Anna's surprise attack. He thought she would not be able to defeat him without a surprise attack.
Anna only smiled as she leaped toward him again and swung her scythe.
Ruben tried to use his spear to block this scythe. Unfortunately, Anna managed to graze him when she used her 'Tri Xeta.' This technique had a power of corrosion. It eroded Ruben's Spiritual Energy and made his reaction speed slower.
This was the technique that she used very long back when Alex was in his first mission in Zunde Field. She used this technique because Alex got ambushed by a very fast Werewolf.
And this time, it lowered Ruben's reaction speed. Because of that, before he knew it, Anna already cut one of his hands. Well, it was also thanks to Anya's support to increase her strength so she could do something like this.
"What?!" Ruben was obviously confused. He knew she was going to attack him, but when he reacted that way, she already finished her attack and took one of his hands.
Unfortunately, this scene was not witnessed by the people of the Makmur Family. If not, they would break down.
"You seem to be the leader, so I will spare your life for now. I will let Alex decide your fate!" Anna said coldly.
"You woman! Don't push your luck!" Ruben tried to attack her with his spear.
Just like before, he thrust nothing as Anna suddenly disappeared.
He suddenly heard something from his back. "You are the one who is pushing your luck by planning to kill Alex."
"Puah!" After those words, he suddenly realized there was a big cut on his chest. He spat blood and fell to the ground.
Anna grabbed him with her Spiritual Energy and immediately crippled his cultivation.
